@ Seph and Kataras: Arma 3 looks great. How does it play? I know it's just in alpha, but an early take?

On a 560ti and an i7 920 @ 2.4, I get around 40 FPS while infantry is around. With vehicles I get 15-20 for some reason. Have to play around a bit with the settings, now I think I have most on high. It's not more taxing than Arma2 on the CPU and GPU from what I can see but I can't be sure since Arma2 was crashing with Afterburner running.

It's a lot more slick and less clunky. AI seems to be more or less the same although I didn't play very long. Vehicles are more or less the same handling. Looks a lot better. Movement feels better.

Plays fairly similar to ARMA 2 but feels a bit better in terms of player movement and vehicle handline. Graphics/Perfomance wise, the game's horrendous (for me anyway). I loaded up the game, left it at default settings and got about 25-30 fps. Looked at the graphics options and it set everything on very high with 8xAA so I turned of AA completely and also turned off Post Processing (from Very High) and ....25-30fps. Tried team deathmatch which was in quite a buit up billiage and it was mostly 15-20fps. A lot of people are praising how well it runs but on my gtx680/i7860 it's pretty much unplayable.

For those of you that have played Ultima Online and are looking to get back into it, and even those of you that just want a fun free game to play, you should seriously check out UO Immortalis. It's free and T2A based with lots of extras, perfectly balanced and the staff are amazing, always taking suggestions and around to help out. This server has more features than ANY other free server available, all while keeping the nostalgic feeling we all love.
